History Repeat

 

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

 

Greetings,

 

As one of our living martyr Peter Tosh said, “Talking about crimes tell me who are the criminals, and I and I know that if the head of the stream is dirty then not even a tea spoon is pure to drink”.

 

To think of it, history has a natural way of repeating itself. Remember 1958 Back a Wall? Buckra master rise up against Rasta with devious assault thinking that I and I will fall only to live to see that once again in 2010 22, 23 of May down trodden women and children a groan and a bawl; quoting Marcus Garvey saying, “Black people will not know themselves until their backs are against the wall. Yes! The same Back a Wall. The seed the politricksters sowed has bloomed into Do us Do dem (Dudus) and just like the 4^th December 1963 in Coral Gardens, not even the smallest innocence was pardoned. In West Kingston, Tivoli Gardens, to get Do us Do dem and all who swear to god to serve and protect crank up and select and yet another barrel of herring and shad jumps up clamouring glad, pretending to be sad, lobbying hard for the next barrel of herring and shad to put down the descendants of slavery money bag. I and I as the vanguard in Selassie I yard will not cease praying and supporting the works and leagacy of Martin Luther King Jr., Marcus Gravey, Steven Beko, Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Peter Tosh, the blessed legend Bunny Wailer, Prince Emmanuel I, Ras I A V, Michael Rose, Culture, Shaggy, Junior Gong, Steven Marley, Rita Marley, Lady (Cham) Champagnie, Marcia Griffiths, Judy Mowatt, Queen Ifrica, Sister I Live, Sister Carroll, and the list goes on endless like time.

 

 So until equal rights and justice arise from its sleep and slumber, in Jah make Jamaica, I and I nah blink or blunder but asking the world to come over and full joy the love Rasta man has to offer, so log on to the only man left on creation through Rastafari  inspiration to feel the positive vibration.

 

Until, love ceaselessly,

Ras Tuffis

Jah guide.
